You do realize that Windows is not a supported platform for any
release less than 8.2?

http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy

For anyone running on 8.0.x, they should be running the latest bug
fix release, which is 8.0.23.  You're missing a lot of bug fixes.

Many people have found it necessary to totally *uninstall*
anti-virus software to keep it from interfering with database
operations.

You should consider an upgrade to at least 8.2.15 as soon as
practicable.  I would also "harden" the machine by disabling
unnecessary services, and then uninstall the AV software.

I hope this helps.
